Global Composite Master: Compositing an Undead Army from the Start Chapter 820 - 397: Emperor Bell, Top-Grade Supreme Treasure! (Double-Length)

Typically, each level gap in Shen Yuan Refinement demands an extra fold in the required multiplier, while the reverse situation cuts it down by onefold.

Take ordinary-level Divine Skills as an example.

Suppose Chen Mo, equipped with a fourth-transition Divine Element, uses 10% of his Divine Power—let's say 10,000 points—to unleash an ordinary-level Divine Skill. Then, an expert with a third-transition Divine Element would have to spend double that, amounting to 20,000 points of Divine Power, on a defensive divine skill to block Chen Mo's assault.

Conversely, should the foe hold a fifth-transition Divine Element, they could pull off a defensive divine skill to counter Chen Mo's strike by burning just half his Divine Power expenditure, namely 5,000 points.

This scenario presumes that all parties command both offensive and defensive divine skills.

Should Chen Mo launch an attack divine skill while his adversary lacks a defensive one,

consequences escalate because the power rules kick in automatically, drawing on Divine Power to resist; the consumption multiplier then matches exactly what you'd normally spend.

For example, recall Chen Mo's clash with those first-transition Divine Element Demons on the Demon Tower's ninth floor.

Without a defensive divine skill, Chen Mo relied on the power rules activating independently whenever their divine skills struck him.

Being a fourth-transition Divine Element, he outranks a first-transition by three whole tiers.

Normally, with a proper defensive divine skill, fending off a first-transition foe's 10,000-point Divine Power skill would cost him 10,000 divided by 2 three times over, equaling 1,250 points of Divine Power.

Yet, lacking such a skill, he depends on the power rules' natural defense, which hikes the drain by a full fold—so it auto-consumes 2,500 points of Divine Power to repel the enemy's blow.

This dynamic explains why divine skills bypass raw Divine Power assaults.

Regardless of your superiority over the enemy, any divine skill they hurl your way forces you to burn Divine Power in resistance.

That said, in practice, high-transition Divine Element masters boast an enigmatic ceiling for Divine Power far beyond what low-transition God Realm wielders can muster.

In scenarios of equal Divine Power outlay, they actually spend far less than you might expect; toppling a higher-transition Divine Element foe as a lower one proves no simple feat.

It demands seamless coordination of skills, gear, artifacts, and more to pull off cross-tier battles against superiors.

Consider the Chaos Supreme Treasure-grade divine weapon Chen Mo now wields: the Divine Sovereign Bell.

Its Heaven Shaking power lets Chen Mo unleash a divine skill packing the punch of an ultimate technique straight at the target.

Though his base Divine Power sits at a modest 100,000, Chen Mo's effective Divine Power surges past one million thanks to enhancements.

Unleashing an ultimate technique-level divine skill at his present Divine Power level would unleash an instant burst roughly equaling a million Divine Power.

Even rivals boasting superior Shen Yuan Refinement would face a hefty Divine Power tab to shield against such a hit.

Furthermore, the Divine Sovereign Bell packs a wildly potent ultimate Divine Power doubling trait.

This doubling applies not just to Chen Mo's near mid-level god-grade base of 100,000 Divine Power, but to the amplified over one million he wields from all sources.

Should this ultimate Divine Power double, Chen Mo's total would skyrocket to about 2.7 million.

Armed with such Divine Power might and firing an ultimate technique-level divine skill, even an opponent one transition above him would burn over a million Divine Power for a defensive counter. Without a defensive divine skill, they'd burn straight 2.7 million to survive, a drain that strains even fifth-transition Divine Element elites.

Meanwhile, Chen Mo's ultimate technique-level divine skill blast via the Divine Sovereign Bell costs him nothing. Per its description, all abilities cool down after five seconds.

Thus, every five seconds, Chen Mo can fire off such a zero-cost, ultimate technique-strength divine skill attack.

The sheer dominating force it brings is beyond imagination.

A Chaos Supreme Treasure of this caliber truly grants its owner the edge for cross-tier warfare.

Having pored over the Divine Sovereign Bell's specs, Chen Mo grew utterly captivated by this pinnacle artifact, reluctant to part with it.

Bear in mind, the current doubling of his ultimate Divine Power stems from Chen Mo's strength not yet fully harnessing the Divine Sovereign Bell, limiting its boost to this extent.

As his power advances further, the Divine Power amplification from the Divine Sovereign Bell will surely dwarf this modest gain.

The Divine Sovereign Bell's prowess has wildly exceeded Chen Mo's wildest dreams!

Stacked against his other Chaos Supreme Treasures, which are themselves outrageously powerful, Chen Mo senses the Divine Sovereign Bell edges them out in rank.

This hints that Chaos Supreme Treasures do carry internal tiers.

Yet, Heavenly Dao offers no explicit ranking framework.

Stowing the Divine Sovereign Bell, Chen Mo extended a hand to stroke Zhui Yi's head, grinning as he uttered, "Thanks for all your effort."

Zhui Yi gazed at Chen Mo with joyful eyes, saying little but brimming with delight within.

After comforting Zhui Yi, Chen Mo pivoted toward the Black-Red Long Sword Guardian ahead and inquired, "Senior, could I trouble you with a question?"

"No formalities needed; ask away."

"Based on what I know, Chaos Supreme Treasure appears to mark the pinnacle of treasures, yet after acquiring the Divine Sovereign Bell, it strikes me that Chaos Supreme Treasure isn't merely the ceiling. Might these Chaos Supreme Treasures hold their own rankings?"

"Oh, that's what you're after. Indeed, you're spot on. Chaos Supreme Treasures do feature gradations, though since they occupy such an elevated stratum already, defining their tiers precisely in today's cosmic order proves tough, given our narrow perspective."
